OMG! New free speech social network won’t allow members to take the Lord’s name in vain

The new network is called “Frank Speech” and is backed by Mike Lindell, who rose to fame as the CEO of My Pillow and has spent the last few years as a fervent supporter of former US president Donald Trump and a peddler of conspiracy theories.

In a video launching Frank, Lindell described the service as “Kind-of like a YouTube Twitter combination”.
The CEO added the service is “the most secure” in the field.

“We are going to be attacked but I have my own servers and everything. We are not going to be worried about Amazon taking it down, or YouTube, or Google, or Apple."
But a little ping action reveals that the site does use Cloudflare, which has [3]denied service to far-right news services.
On free speech, Lindell said: “We found from our founding fathers and the Supreme Court and stuff what defines free speech.” That study led to the stance not to allow the speech mentioned above, pornography, or threats of violence.

Which is interesting as the Supreme Court’s “Miller Test” is often interpreted as allowing much pornography to be considered as permitted speech.
The site launches in coming days and Lindell was also bullish about its scalability, which he claims will mean all comers enjoy a stellar experience.

The CEO said the site has been four years in the making. It may, however, soon have competition as Trump acolytes have suggested the former president has his own social network in the works. ®

Re: I wonder how well I could mention my holiday plans?
I remember the old joke about .....
If Typhoo put the T in Britain, who put the Cunt in Scunthorpe?
A free speech social media network that doesn't allow free speech!
Let's see how leftpondian-centric they're gonna be with this.
Are they also gonna block vagina, fanny, pussy, minge, slit, gash, front bottom? How about copulate, shag, hump, pound, bang?
And don't get me started on cony, chjichja, kunda, pizda, píča, hajzl! And those are just three languages/regions for just one of the banned words.
Re: A free speech social media network that doesn't allow free speech!
They'll all be banned on the basis they're not English.
Re: A free speech social media network that doesn't allow free speech!
Heh, bet they'll also ban colour, aluminium and grey since it is the wrong kind of english.
Good luck gaining support...
Haven't Trump acolytes already migrated to Gab and Qcumbers to The Great Awakening?
The CEO added the service is “the most secure” in the field.
Don't these guys realise NOT to say stuff like that because it always comes back to bite you in the arse later?
Well the meaning of "the field" can always be narrowed to ensure you were right.
It might pose a challenge to some, but they truly are the most secure not-entirely-free-speech-platform-funded-by-a-shitty-pillow-maker.
Which God would that be?
There are so many Sky Fairies vying for attention right now, they need to be more specific.

this was reckless (though personally I'd prefer 'stupid'), because it dares many people to show it is not 'the most secure' and, possibly, quite the reverse. And, if they prove it, the results will be displayed and ridiculed all over social media. This happened recently in Poland, with a launch of right-wing social platform (abicla?), which boasted of this or that, and was quickly, and publicly, proven to be amateurish. Speak softly and carry a big stick - much more effective methinks.
I wonder how well I could mention my holiday plans?
What with my planned weekend to Scunthorpe... A weeks trip around Europe on a Fücker bus and visiting one of the local tapas restaurants "El Gato Negro".
On the flip side, you won't catch me discussing Post Malones song "God damn".
Morons, the lot of them. On the plus side, having a bunch of people openly discussing their hate in a known location makes it easier to track to worst of them.
Icon because everyone's going to get burned by this.
